    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I presume your speaking of the 1194 to what number are you thinking of? PM me if you would. Note really sure if I am worried about others see this. Cause of the user name and password are still needed along with the dynamic IP always changing. So if you dont think it would be a real security...

    I installed the same via your link. I now have a menu at the top and can change the selected menu item via swipes. Although I do not have the same items in my menu, lacking IP and DNS, Routing, Authentication and what ever is the XXX List on the left. I used the same files that I created and...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Barboots, I really think we have different apps. Mine is version 3.0.5 and I do not have that menu things going like yours. And mine says "<- Settings Save" in the blue banner. No FnFast either. So, I tried the L to R and R to L swipes and nothing. Suspect it has something to do with...

    Have you tried to use the Web interface after you connected via VPN ? Ok, so like once I have the VPN connected, open my phone's sprint browser on the phone and enter my 192.168.x.x:81 and see if I can get video?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    @SouthernYankee Well I had a chance today to get on an external WiFi today. One of the speed test programs I have loaded on my cellphone said that I had a 1MBps up and down. This is with the OVPN running. And loe and behold I can get video via the BI app. This is making me to lean towards Sprint...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Barboots, working on an answer to your question. SouthernYankee, Sprint is my cell provider. And Centurylink is my ISP. No I have not changed the port cause Nayr said that they can still run a scanner and find my port number. I have not tried to go someonewhere and use their WiFi. Great...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I have had a working system and then troubles. I have the BI app loaded on two S9 Samsung phones. Working like swiss watches. Then I noted a few days before it stopped working, that things were slowing down. Both loading/connecting and watching videos getting laggy. Now if I am at home and run...

    Trouble with web based video on the Android BI app

    Back about a week ago I noticed that the BI app was not loading up the clips as fast as before. And the play back of alerts were getting jumpy. Now for the past several days I log in just fine and it goes to the Alert screen but the live video on the left and the clips on the right will not...

    Video stream lost playing back alerts via web interface

    Jason R are you by chance saying that on your cellphone you cant play alerts or clips? I just in the past week started to have problems like that. If I am at home, I can play alerts and clips via WiFi. But if I go out and use cellar to connect via my VPN I can make the connection and the BI app...

    Lost all 7 cameras overnight

    I remember back in about 2005 or so when I was taking some Cisco classes. That the professor was telling us that there was a time latency as switches were daisy chained or stacked if you prefer. Maybe that was an issue back in the day and with things getting faster this is not as much of an...

    Lost all 7 cameras overnight

    The use of a switch has its cost. Every time you daisy chain another switch there is some time latency. Also traffic will cause some latency. I would suggest that you consider having one switch for all of your cameras and your B.I. computer. With one port of switch "S" (S=security) going to your...

    @Arjun, that is just what I have done with the detection area. I have excluded all trees. But hoping to catch the deer who cross the road in the area that I am also watching for cars entering our dead end street. @Cameraguy Will do in a few days.

    How can I improve IVS Auto-Tracking?

    Ok, looks like there is still some improvements I can do to the tracking. My situation is that I have a "S" curve in the road that is near the head of our dead end road. Had no problem setting up the detection box to enclose the "S". But the target is a bit more tricky. There are some trees with...

    How can I improve IVS Auto-Tracking?

    Ok, have had it up for a few days (working on a laminate floor project, not much time for playing). I came back here to review the above advice for setting up detection and target zones. I see that my SD59225u-hni web interface is different than either jmcu or Cameraguy's. I dont see an ivs...

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    Well shoot, I stepped out today (playing hookey) to go to the hardware store. Come back home and see a DHL tag on my door knob. Looks like per my cameras, I missed him by 30 minutes, dang. So, Andy had to get restocked and a few days to get it sent back out to me. So, I cant actually gauge how...

    How can I improve IVS Auto-Tracking?

    jmcu and CameraGuy, thank you both for your information. This is timely post cause I should be getting my D59225u-hni in the next week or two. So all this above is set in the camera. Now what do I do in Bi? Currently I am only recording if the motion detection in Bi is tripped. So how is this...

    EmpireTecAndy fast DHL shipping!!

    Andy I am sure that getting restocked on some cameras takes longer. But could you give a rough idea how long it takes to get restocked by Dahua if they have the camera in their warehouse?

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    Thats interesting. I didnt know that there are two levels to the IR lighting. A low level and a spot once it triggers. I wonder if there is a contrast setting on the night time profile?
